So I went to my LGS today to pick up a few reloading supplies.
He happened to have recently taken in some "Barrett-Bait" as we have come to affectionately call it.
The piece in question is a 6" 17-2. I resisted the compelling urge to fondle this little .22. I have been wanting to add a descent K-22 to my small yet growing collection of Smith's for quite some time now. While I did not handle it, it looks to be in well used, yet well cared for condition. I would say finish is about 97%. Some wear in the usual places you would expect to see from carrying and shooting. Looked to have the original target grips on it as well, with the serial number stamped on the butt.
I have looked here and figured out the -2 were made from 1961 to 1967. I am sure this would be a sweety and I am trying to behave but I can't get this thing out of my head.
I know there is no shortage of "what's this gun worth" threads. But, I just have to know the opinions of those who know better than me approximately what this is worth. Dealer has $700 plus tax on the tag and he has always had pretty fair prices. Most times they take a few bucks off for me being that I am a regular customer of his. I would suspect if I were to buy it, I could probably get him down to about $675.
Didn't handle it, so no pics unfortunately.
So, what say you? 6" M17-2 in 95% or better condition??
Thanks guys...
